Patient Before/After Gallery Plugin

This gallery solution was developed as both a Wordpress plugin and a REST API to dynamically serve up patient before & after galleries to client sites independent of platform (PHP, .NET, Ruby) running completely on JS (Angular).

Boulder Valley Plastic Surgery

The client requested a site with glamour and flamboyance, so this fully responsive website was customized to feature showy hover effects and scrolling transitions while maintaining a clean conversion funnel.

Midwest ENT Centre Brand Identity

As part of a brand refresh for a large ENT practice, this identity exploration sought to update the look to something more modern and clever while retaining elegance and simplicity.

Smoky Hill Vineyard Church

Integrating a specialized community group API, newsletter sign-up for a third-party CMS service, and Google Calendar API, this responsive church site had to be very flexible to include all of its partner affiliates.

Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine

Built on a customized .NET Content Management System to support hundreds of students, faculty, and staff, this 2000+ page site won the IABC Award of Excellence for its superior quality in digital communication.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Directory

Leveraging Google's Maps API and an IP location lookup table, this responsive directory website was able to capture visitors' locations and serve them up tailored results for nearby Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. Also included in the build was an advanced dashboard for doctors to manage reviews, galleries, payment gateways, and many other features.

Omni Medical Marketing

As the centerpiece for our corporate branding and marketing, this fully responsive site featured a number of flashy design elements including background mp4 video, a real-time responsive website tester for any submitted URL, and a counter for form leads and page visits dynamically collected from out internal dashboards.

This animation from a head-to-head competition with another graphic designer (Layer Tennis) uses a similar theme as well as my opponent's design to create a cohesive narrative.

The Beverly Hills Institute of Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery

Created for one of the preeminent leaders in plastic surgery worldwide, this high-traffic responsive website needed to have advanced caching and security measures to deliver thousands of page views a day.

Automated Reputation Booster Tool

Reputation Management requires a lot of time and follow-up, so this automated tool was created to tie into Constant Contact and Mailchimp APIs to facilitate the collection of reviews from recent patients, including filtering mechanisms for poor reviews.

Learning Management System (LMS) Quiz Module

Built to integrate with Moodle, a popular LMS, this quiz module system was developed in Wordpress. A unique challenge was posed in the very specific API handshake that Moodle's LTI required in order to accept passed student names, roles, and grades while remaining security compliant with student records.

SPS Portable Offline Website

Originating as an overseas Learning Management System (LMS), this project relied on web content that had to run offline on thumb drives. A number of sophisticated techniques were required to prevent browser security vulnerability errors from triggering due to the scripting and flash embed elements.

Allergy Solutions

Customized to be speedy, straightforward, and effortless, this responsive website was created to convert visitors while keeping content to an uncomplicated minimum.

Using a complicated set of gradient meshes and texture mapping, this logo for the dental-focused side of Omni evoked a decidedly Trompe-l'œil aesthetic.

Chicago Aesthetic Surgery Institute

A number of challenges were presented with this responsive redesign, including multiple language support, streamlined procedure navigation, and an emphasis on the new medical spa the practice had developed.

The client requested a logo that was abstract, structured, and clean while also having some lively and fun colors. This was the initial round of brand identity marks created to accomplish those goals.

Dr. Terri Halperin Plastic Surgery

Home page sliders and other modern web design gimmicks were eschewed for this conversion machine. This responsive site centers around easily accessible content without losing beautiful design around the edges.

Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center

A leading international research center for bird health, the Schubot Center is famous for its efforts in avian medicine and required a colorful site to mirror the beauty of the birds it fights to preserve.

Comprising a variety of specialized veterinarians, the GI Lab tests hundreds of animals a day to help diagnose and treat diseases, which is why their website allows online test submission and verification.

This dynamic and highly-customizable template was designed to fit within a custom Content Management System; it's currently one of many available to over 6,000 fully-hosted automotive dealerships worldwide.

Reynolds & Reynolds Dealership Hub

Hub designs, utilized for multiple make dealerships, were a favorite for their clean designs and streamlined Search Engine Optimization. Here is an example of one of the most popular templates.

Flash Animation

From a separate match in a head-to-head competition with another graphic designer, this animation's design relies on a sharp contrast between subject matter and texture - a factor that contributed to a win for its series.

Raffi Hovsepian Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

This site was updated with a number of modern improvements including responsive design for multiple device form factors, lazy loading, and masonry layout.

ViaOmni Brand Identity

As part of the brand identity exploration for a holistic online reputation tracking tool, these logos were created for ViaOmni, a primary marketing initiative for Omni Medical Marketing.
